Maybe they're preparing in case Windows 8 doesn't do so well?
- jiggy2011 14y agoIn which case are they predicting a mass exodus of PC users from Windows to desktop Linux? Or are they more interested in creating a Linux port as a step towards porting it to future Linux based platforms (ChromeBook/Box?)? If the future is ARM based devices and UEFI then people won't be able to install Linux even Windows 8 sucks to an obscene degree.
